This is what i have done so far...

ow_system_plugins/base/components/about_me_widget.php

added the following in two dif functions

// added by dave for moderator access

        $isModerator = OW::getUser()->isAuthorized('base');
        $this->assign('isModerator', $isModerator);

// end add

and then in ow_system_plugins/base/views/components/about_me_widget.html

<div class="ow_highbox ow_about_me_widget">
    {if $ownerMode || $isModerator}  //added the isModerator

But as admin i still cannot get the form to show on someone elses profile so that i can change it if i need to.

have also tried this

// added by dave for admin and moderator access
     
          if ( OW::getUser()->isAdmin() || OW::getUser()->isAuthorized('base') )
          {       
           $this->assign('okToEdit', true);
          }else{
                $this->assign('okToEdit', false);
               }//close else

// end add

Any ideas?   See image below
